In addition, if you feel your nose is dry for a long time, it proves that there is a problem with the nasal mucosa, which cannot secrete nasal mucus and regulate humidity normally. Without a suitable humid environment, the movement of nasal cilia will also be affected. Over time, the bacteria and viruses that enter the nasal cavity will accumulate for a long time and form scabs. These bacteria and viruses like this environment the most and will attack your fragile nasal cavity at any time to cause inflammation. Patients with dry rhinitis will feel dryness in the nose, reduced nasal secretions, itching and burning sensation, which often induces patients to pick their noses, causing small nose bleeding. The sense of smell is generally not reduced. Anterior rhinoscopy can show that the nasal mucosa is dark red, the surface is dry and dull, there are filamentous secretions in the nasal passages, the mucosa of the anterior and inferior nasal septum is often eroded, and small thin crusts may be attached, which often bleed when removed. There is no atrophy of the nasal concha, which should be differentiated from atrophic rhinitis.
